+Request for Comments: 1776 CyberCash, Inc.
+Category: Informational 1 April 1995
+
+
+ The Address is the Message
+
+Status of this Memo
+
+ This memo provides information for the Internet community. This memo
+ does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of
+ this memo is unlimited.
+
+Discussion
+
+ Declaring that the address is the message, the IPng WG has selected a
+ packet format which includes 1696 bytes of address space. This
+ length is a multiple of 53 and is completely compatible with ATM
+ architecture. Observing that it's not what you know but who you
+ know, the IPng focused on choosing an addressing scheme that makes it
+ possible to talk to everyone while dispensing with the irrelevant
+ overhead of actually having to say anything.
+
+ Security experts hailed this as a major breakthrough. With no
+ content left in the packets, all questions of confidentiality and
+ integrity are moot. Intelligence and law enforcement agencies
+ immediately refocused their efforts to detect who's talking to whom,
+ and are silently thankful they can avoid divisive public debate about
+ key escrow, export control and related matters.
+
+ Although the IPng WG declared there should be more than enough
+ address space for everyone, service providers immediately began vying
+ for reserved portions of the address space.
+
+Security Considerations
+
+ Security issues are not discussed in this memo.
